Steenkamp Talks His Way to Profit

Level 5 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Dirk Steenkamp
Dirk Steenkamp

Three ways to the J1056 turn, Dirk Steenkamp checked from the small blind and the big blind bet 3,000. Ricardo Sequeira called on the button and Steenkamp also called, then checked the 3 on the river.

"You gonna check also because you probably have five four, and your queen nine is no good," Steemkamp said. His table neighbour checked, as did Sequeira. Steenkamp declared that he had a ten and flashed the 104. Sequeira mucked a five and the big blind indeed exposed his 54.

Assorted Counts in the Field

Level 5 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A Double and a Knockout

Level 5 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Carrie Feinauer looked up a short stack with K7 versus A2 and both players had a piece of the K102J8 board to result in a casualty.

One table over, Jon Persent was put to the test on a board of 108362 and eventually called all-in. He was shown the Q9 and earned the full double with the K8 for a pair of eights.

Nortje Back to His Usual Style

Level 5 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Marko Nortje raised to 2,500 and received one caller. The big blind three-bet to 7,000 and Nortje then squeezed to 32,500, forcing out the cold-caller. The big blind used one time bank extension and folded.

In the meanwhile two tables over, Jedd Kossew was spotted on his way out while Nico Wiechers dragged in his chips.

Two in a Row for van der Hulst

Level 5 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Hanre Retief was not back in his seat in time and forfeited a part of his stack out of the blinds. That hand saw a board of KQ94J on which Alan Jung in the under-the-gun position check-called for 5,000 against Hans van der Hulst. The latter showed Q10 for the straight and won the pot.

Van der Hulst then raised to 2,600 and Jung was the only caller from the big blind. On a Q77 flop, Jung check-folded to a bet of 3,500.

Nearly 100 Entries for Day 1a

Level 5 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Jayson Zulch has already bought back in for Day 1a while Ashley Hira will do so shortly. Hira had started well into the flight but things then went downhill after he was moved tables. During the break, Hira recalled that he flopped top and bottom pair with A9 in multi-way action and ran into pocket nines for a set.

Barnard Takes From Wright

Level 4 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Dylan Barnard
Dylan Barnard

Mark Wright check-raised the 9325 turn to 30,000 and Dylan Barnard called which led them to the K on the river. Wright now checked and Barnard's time expired after which he was forced to give up a time bank and then bet 15,000.

"I am invested," Wright said and paid it off to get shown JJ.

"Well done," Wright replied and flashed his 88.

At the same time one table over, Caleb October had a bet of 12,000 paid off on the Q1037K river and won the pot with Q8.

Du Toit Gets a Shove Through

Level 4 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

On the river of a Q5462 board, Damon Fine had checked and his table neighbour Cassiem Du Toit pushed all-in. The shove was for 30,100 into a pot of around 18,000 and Fine reluctantly folded. Despite this setback, Fine is having a fine day so far with a very solid above-average stack.
